As always... I have a tendency to make a fool of myself... As we make mistakes - we say that "I have shot myself in the foot"...
Therefore, I have shot myself in the foot on this one...
I also am a big fan of The Christmas Story..."You'll shoot your eye out, kid"...
What other phrases have you heard of in the past...or even currently use today?....

Some of the older ones are:

This situation could be a powder keg.
He jumped the gun.
